After forty days of military training, the five hundred Southeast Asian students finally boarded the military trucks bound for Capital University. When Chen Qingshan left, the four soldiers from the kitchen squad were the ones he missed most.

Hong Tao had completely lost weight and passed the physical fitness test, and was preparing to return to the Tiger Regiment after surgery. His rapid weight loss had left him with a cumbersome amount of excess skin hanging down from his stomach and arms. Zhou Shuyi contacted the military hospital to arrange for plastic surgery to remove the excess skin.

The night before their departure, the kitchen staff used their position to cook a few of their specialties for a farewell party for the four beautiful university students. Hong Tao, a little drunk, held Qingshan's hand and thanked her profusely. He even broke down in tears, pouring out the grievances and bitterness he'd endured over the past two years. In the end, Qingshan had to comfort him, and the farewell party turned into a grumbling session for Squad Leader Hong.

After four hours of bumpy rides and detours, the military vehicle finally brought the students safely to their destination. The school informed the freshmen that they would be off after their military training and would return to school after the National Day holiday. Xuan Xuan, a local, returned home that afternoon. Qingshan, Li Lulu, and Wu Jiaying rested for the night before also embarking on their journey home the next day.

Qingshan received Luo Wenyuan's medical expenses and had enough money, so she bought a plane ticket and flew back to Lian City. As soon as she left the domestic exit of the airport, she saw Gao Xiang and Zhang Meiling waiting for her.

"Xiaoshan!" Zhang Meiling saw Qingshan coming out and ran over to give her daughter a bear hug. Gao Xiang took Qingshan's luggage and drove the mother and daughter back to Villa No. 8. Gao Xiang left after sending Qingshan home, not wanting to disturb their family reunion. Qingshan didn't want to keep him, and took out the special local products she had bought and asked him to take them back to Old Lady Gao.

Upon learning his daughter was coming home today, Chen Jianguo got up early and cooked a table full of Qingshan's favorite dishes. Seeing Qingshan's return, Old Lady Sun embraced her beloved granddaughter and refused to let go. The family ate while Qingshan recounted interesting military training stories, and Villa No. 8 was filled with laughter.

The next day, Qingshan lay on his bed and stretched comfortably - his own bed was still comfortable! Qingshan followed his habit of practicing in the space before going downstairs.

After breakfast, Qingshan felt that Chen Jianguo seemed to be worried today. He hesitated several times and couldn't help asking him:

"Dad, do you have something to tell me?"

Chen Jianguo sighed and poured his daughter a cup of Kung Fu tea. Chen Jianguo loved tea. After Qingshan made some money, he bought him a set of famous purple clay tea sets. Zhanfeng and Gaoxiang would send him good tea whenever they had it, so whenever Chen Jianguo was at home, he would always drink tea.

"It's Zhang Youcai's family. They're in trouble."

"Brother Youcai? What's going on?"

Qingshan was shocked. She remembered Zhang Youcai and Wang Xiufen, who were kind and honest people. When Chen Jianguo was beaten and hospitalized, it was thanks to these two people that they helped.

Chen Jianguo took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "Not long after you went to Capital University, Wang Xiufen gave birth to a big fat boy weighing eight kilograms. Zhang Youcai was so happy. The little fat boy ate and slept, and slept and ate, and never cried or made a fuss. He was very well-behaved. But one day, Zhang Youcai's mother accidentally dropped the thermos and it exploded with a bang like a firecracker. The whole family was shocked, but the little fat boy acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued to sleep there. Youcai felt something was wrong, so he took the child to the Children's Hospital for a check-up. It turned out that he was congenitally deaf! The doctor said there was no other way unless he got a cochlear implant, but a cochlear implant costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, and Youcai can't afford it even if he sells everything he has. These days he's been borrowing money from relatives and friends."

Hearing this, Qingshan was also surprised. He never thought such a good family would encounter such an unfortunate event. Neonatal deafness is mostly caused by genetic factors. Currently, there is no effective treatment at home or abroad. It is a very difficult disease to treat, second only to cancer.

Zhang Meiling washed a plate of fruit, put it on the table, and sat next to Chen Jianguo. She had heard the conversation between the father and daughter.

"I went to Youcai's house yesterday. Alas, Xiufen is so skinny, she's suffering from internal heat, and her milk has gone back. That fat boy is chubby and adorable. They say nine out of ten deaf people are dumb. It's such a pity that such a good child will become deaf-mute in the future... Xiaoshan, don't you know Chinese medicine? You can even cure Gaoxiang's fucking cancer. Can you help Youcai's fat boy too?"

Chen Jianguo confronted Zhang Meiling, frowned and clicked his tongue.

Chen Qingshan's knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine was known to several people close to Chen Jianguo. Zhang Youcai had indeed gone to Chen Jianguo to ask Qingshan to take a look, but Old Chen had many concerns. First, the disease was difficult to treat, and he was afraid that the greater Zhang Youcai's hope, the greater his disappointment. Second, he felt that his daughter, who had learned Traditional Chinese Medicine on her own and had not yet obtained a medical license, was practicing medicine without a license. If something unexpected happened during the treatment, wouldn't it be a disaster for her? That's why Old Chen hesitated all morning. If Qingshan hadn't asked, he wouldn't have said anything. But Zhang Meiling was quick-witted and asked first.
